A little while ago I wrote about a free alternative to the Plex app for Roku. That all started because I didn't want my smoking hot girlfriend to have to pay $4.99 to stream videos from the Plex media server I setup on her laptop.

Well, the other night my kids were hogging our two televisions, and I wanted to watch John Wick on Plex, so I downloaded the Plex app for my Android tablet, and tried to play it. It played for a few minutes before telling me I had to pay $4.99 to watch my movie!

I love Plex, and have been using it for years, but their new tactic to force people to pay for something that used to be optional is extortion, and I refuse to give in!

Well, I found an app that can detect my Plex server and stream it's contents on my Android device. It's called AllConnect!
